Didn't realise these were still going. I was sure they were hauled before the traffic comissioner for a major telling off a few years ago.

Green Mountain Travel appear to be running the Tyne Pedestrain Tunnel replacement service. When I used the service today they were using Mercedes 614D Excel BX05VNN with the 16 space bike trailer. For the driver shift change at 14.45 they used Sprinter NJ63XSB.

I saw the same (or a similar) minibus when I was crossing the Tyne Tunnel on the 9 last month. Hadn't thought that they could have been running the Pedestrian Tunnel replacement service. Cheers for confirming!

Another new addition to the full size fleet appears to be MAN Panther YN07EAG - which is wearing a two tone blue livery advertising Northumbria University - https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/27269804813

They've had it since late 2015, they also have one of its sister vehicles but I can't remember the reg.

Cheers Charles, I did some more research while adding a fleetlist for these... turns out they've got YN07EAE, EAF and EAG.

Green Mountain have several vehicles allocated to the Northumbria University open day.

Is this for the Green Mountain Tyne Tunnel shuttle bus?

Passed it at Seaton Burn, so I wouldn't know.

Unlikely as the Shuttle Bus requires a vehicle with a tow bar to pull the bike trailer.

Green Mountain Travel have Enviro 200 registered YX68 UMS for use on the Morpeth local services.

Apparently Henry Cooper Coaches now operate the Morpeth local services with a Green Mountain Travel minibus used as a driver changeover vehicle only, not actually going out running the services.
RE: Greenmountain Travel - omnicity4659 - 22 Oct 2022
yeah, one of Henry Cooper's B7RLEs was on the 436 a couple of weeks ago
Greenmountain Travel - Dan - 22 Oct 2022
Did I read somewhere that the E200 needs a new engine, and it’s not affordable so they are loaning the B7RLE from Henry Cooper for the foreseeable to run the Morpeth service?

They've had the use of the Henry Cooper B7RLE for a while now.

Also the E200 is that the 68 Plate one?

Henry Cooper drivers have confirmed they are losing 3515 HX to replace the E200MMC that Green Mountain Travel lost
